I believe it's a combination (mostly on the offensive side) of preparation, focus, and putting athletes in the best position to succeed (i.e. playcalling and personnel usage).

Just my 2 cents.

Your 2 cents is correct. There is NO negligible talent difference between the two schools. Their "Process" is superior to ours overall. LSU just needs a little tweaking here and there, but actually seeing the tweaking rolled into motion and active will be a miracle of all miracles because of the evil Captain Stubbornego.

This is it. We either need better offensive coaching or a QB that can run the offense without going to the sideline.

We had our best offensive game against Bama and still lost. Coaching calls killed us--Miles took the blame--its over. Take out the Bama game and the offense looked pretty poor all year. Throw in the Bama game and we struggled in the red zone and 3rd and short all Year.
